Has anyone tried the generic brand of lexapro? and has anyone tried klonopin until lex kicked in?

I've started lex for the third time in my life I've never had to up a dosage or down a dosage... lex has worked great for me! but of course starting it all over again always has me nervous on whether or not it will work... my doc gave me klonopin to take as needed... and I noticed the klonopin calms me and makes me feel like myself again... so I was wondering if anyone has taken klonopin until the lex kicked in

Thank you very much for you response... it's always helpful to get positive responses..well the only reason I was asking about the generic brand is because my Dr has always supplied me with the sample boxes of lexapro and I went to see him today and he no longer has any... I only have one box and I'm afraid to switch to generic...

I also have 4 more other lexapro boxes but these expired 06/2014 and my doc said its Still ok to use..

I was afraid to take the klonopin which I heard is addictive... but it really does help ease my anxiety and craziness since I just started the lexparo the first week is the hardest.the klonopin makes me feel normal again and I only want to take it for maybe this first week but then again I'm scared I'll have withdrawals

Thank you... you've me made feel a lot better... I was only taking 0.5 once a day early morning and the calming effect would last throughout the day and I would sleep ok then morning came and that's when I would feel all the anxiety and emotions and wanting to cry... so I did it diff today... I'm doing what your doing one in morning and one in night... I was taking half of the pill of the 0.5 but I noticed that wasn't helping much.

I have also taken lexapro multiple times in my life. Each time I restarted, it worked just as well as the last time! I will say, that recently, my psychiatrist upped me to 30mg. I have never taken more than 20 mg, and I have been taking this med for years. The 30 mg really gives me the help I needed with increased anxiety. I take .5 mg klonopin 3 times a day as needed, and it really helps. I suggest you come off as soon as lexapro starts to help, as klonopin is very addictive.
